About this home
Privacy, original model-home quality and single-level living set 1521 Thornbury Drive apart in Balmoral at Withers Preserve. Built by Hall Custom Homes as the original Allston model home, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers approximately 1,815 heated square feet, plus a private wooded wetland-buffer setting and no home directly behind. The home’s model-home pedigree remains evident throughout, with fiber-cement siding, elevated-slab construction, roof sheathing with radiant barrier, Pella Low-E impact-glass windows and impact-glass exterior doors, engineered bamboo flooring, vaulted and tray ceilings, extensive crown molding and trim, formal dining and a split-bedroom design. The light-filled living room opens to an enclosed three-season room with insulated vinyl windows and tile flooring, creating an inviting place to enjoy the peaceful wooded setting. The primary suite features a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, double vanity, garden tub and separate shower. The kitchen offers granite countertops, work island, breakfast bar, pantry, stainless appliances and breakfast nook. Storage is another standout, with stair-accessed floored attic space in both the home and detached garage. The 22x22 detached two-car garage provides excellent storage and utility while complementing the home’s distinctive Lowcountry architecture. Additional details include an irrigation system with separate meter, natural-gas exterior lighting and mature landscaping. Major improvements include a full roof replacement in 2024, Lennox HVAC system in 2021 with natural-gas furnace, natural-gas water heater in 2021 and exterior repainting in 2026.
